by Nilmini Wickramasinghe (Editor), Freimut Bodendorf (Editor)
This in-depth book addresses a key
void in the literature surrounding the Internet of Things (IoT) and
health. By systematically evaluating the benefits of mobile, wireless,
and sensor-based IoT technologies when used in health and wellness
contexts, the book sheds light on the next frontier for healthcare
delivery. These technologies generate data with significant potential to
enable superior care delivery, self-empowerment, and wellness
management. Collecting valuable insights and recommendations in one
accessible volume, chapter authors identify key areas in health and
wellness where IoT can be used, highlighting the benefits, barriers, and
facilitators of these technologies as well as suggesting areas for
improvement in current policy and regulations.
Four overarching themes provide a suitable setting to examine the critical insights presented in the 31 chapters:
- Mobile- and sensor-based solutions
- Opportunities to incorporate critical aspects of analytics to provide superior insights and thus support better decision-making
- Critical issues around aspects of IoT in healthcare contexts
- Applications of portals in healthcare contexts
A comprehensive overview that introduces the critical issues regarding the role of IoT technologies for health, Delivering Superior Health and Wellness Management with IoT and Analytics
paves the way for scholars, practitioners, students, and other
stakeholders to understand how to substantially improve health and
wellness management on a global scale.
